Love Island 2018 winner Dani Dyer has revealed she was left feeling “furious, afraid and violated” after her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence allegedly sent a friend to spy on her.
Sammy, who Dani dated before winning Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018 and is the father of Dani’s baby son Santiago, is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence after he was found guilty of defrauding two old aged pensioners of £34,000.
But despite dumping Sammy, it’s been revealed that he’s sent friend to “keep an eye” on Dani and is reportedly “not happy” with her new friendship with footballer Jarrod Bowen.
Dani said on Instagram, "After all the awful things he did came out in court and we split up, I thought I could start to move on with my life with little Santi.
"But this is just really horrible and scary. I have been left feeling furious, afraid and violated."
Meanwhile, a source added, "Dani has tried to handle everything very sensitively this year at a difficult time."

They went on to tell The Sun, "She is very conscious that anything she says publicly will always be there for Santiago to read when he’s older, and she has wanted to protect him as best she could.
"All she wants to do is get on with her life. She is an independent, single woman and a loving mother. The thought that her everyday, innocent life is being monitored is of huge concern.
"Despite the fact that they are no longer together, Sammy having Dani spied on from his prison cell is deeply disturbing and has really shown his true colours."

What's next for Dani Dyer's career after Sammy Kimmence's prison sentence?
Dani was left feeling betrayed following Sammy’s ‘guilty’ verdict, after he “repeatedly lied” to her, with a source telling heatworld, "He led her to believe he hadn’t done anything too serious and that he would get a suspended sentenced.
"Now she knows the full horror of the crime… She is absolutely floored by what’s happened with Sammy. She knows she has to make massive changes in her life and she’s so distraught. All she knows is that her baby boy Santiago is the only thing that matters now and she is trying to work out how best to look after him as a single parent."
